Financial health, per its FY2024 accounts

The accounts state that the charity faces a material uncertainty regarding its ability to continue as a going concern due to the cessation of its primary income source from landfill tax credits by April 2026. While the trustees have sufficient reserves to cover operations for the next 12 months and are reviewing future options, the long-term viability is dependent on securing alternative funding or winding down the charity.
